To commemorate Will Smith’s 55th birthday, Joyner Lucas treated fans to a sneak peek of their collaborative magic. The ADHD artist shared an Instagram clip on September 25th, showcasing himself and Will Smith passionately rapping an unreleased track together. The post not only celebrated Smith’s birthday but also dropped a tantalizing hint about a potential joint album in the works.
In a heartfelt caption, Lucas expressed his disbelief at meeting his idol and recounted his journey from idolizing Smith to creating a song that expressed admiration and respect for the legendary actor. The surprise request from Smith to collaborate on an entire album added an extra layer of excitement to the revelation.
This collaboration follows their previous musical connection in 2020 when the Oscar-winner contributed a semi-autobiographical verse to Lucas’ “Will (Remix).” Smith’s introspective lines touched on imperfections, guidance from his grandmother, and the influence of his hometown, Philadelphia.
Will Smith, known for his early career as one-half of DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, has not released a solo album since 2005’s “Lost and Found.” Lucas, on the other hand, has been actively making waves with his music, even addressing and defending Smith’s controversial Oscars moment in his recent single, “Devil’s Work Part 2,” where he reimagined the incident involving Smith slapping Chris Rock. The anticipation for their joint project is now at an all-time high as fans eagerly await the musical collaboration between these two talented artists.
